Ike - why not? Worst case scenario he has your personal email address - but were you one of the people who said they set up one specifically for dating?

OhWesternWind · 27/02/2013 14:48

Yep Ike do it!

lubeybooby · 27/02/2013 14:48

I would too if I liked his profile :)

I have been asked on two thrilling dates. One round some guys house for a drink and DVD, and the other for lunch at a truckers cafe Confused

Think I'll pass on those for ever now.

MirandaWest · 27/02/2013 15:02

voice I now have baby monkey on a pig going through my head. DS introduced me to it Hmm

It's gone sunny. This is good :) althohgh got hot and sweaty on my bike. Hot and sweaty is sometimes good but not when sweltering in warm coat.

Oh I probs have a spare email addy kicking around somewhere....still using exH's....I am THAT sort of technophobe...

lubeybooby · 27/02/2013 15:06

Oooh. I have a lunch date with a carpenter. I'm thinking good with hands. bad lubey

MirandaWest · 27/02/2013 15:08

Hopefully he would be Wink

MirandaWest · 27/02/2013 15:09

I just renewed my tax disc. So exciting not at all sarcastic

ike1 · 27/02/2013 15:09

yes got any jobs need doing. lubes?

KirstyWirsty · 27/02/2013 15:13

Well looks like when it all looked as though it was on the up for me everything is crashing down again.. After last week's joy at the new flat it has all gone awry

Mr Cheeky was suspended from work yesterday (i won't say why) and says he wants me to distance myself from him as much as possible and that I will just be dragged down by him .. We can't seem to last more than a month or so before some chaos in his life throws a spanner in the works!! I really like him ( in fact told him I loved him at the weekend) and the sex is great but it just seems to be one thing after the other .. If he loses his job he may need to move away and he also may need to bankrupt himself .. Am I awful to think that it's just all too much hassle???

lubeybooby · 27/02/2013 15:14

My shed needs a door ike and I could do with some shelves... amongst other 'jobs'

His profile and pic have no wow factor for me but hey, he at least read my profile and god it's slim pickings at the moment. He does seem a really nice guy though so we'll see. Probably better if I don't massively lust after him considering what I'm looking for.

lubeybooby · 27/02/2013 15:51

Blimey this is such a bizzare day.

Who remembers Mr iPhone?

OhWesternWind · 27/02/2013 16:00

Blimey Kirsty that sounds like a load of serious stuff going on. Just take it one step at a time - sounds like you know what has happened with him at work and you'll know if it's a dealbreaker for the two of you. The other stuff about bankruptcy/moving away doesn't need to be dealt with at the moment as it could very well never happen. Concentrate on the situation as it is at the moment and what you want to do about it and him.

So sorry you're finding yourself in this situation.

lubeybooby · 27/02/2013 16:02

Sorry kirsty I cross posted replying to ike and missed your message. Cripes that is a lot going on. I agree with what OWW said up there^ about it

OhWesternWind · 27/02/2013 16:19

Mr iPhone is the one you met queuing up for the new iPhone so a real life one, is that right? Has he popped up again?

ike1 · 27/02/2013 16:19

I remember i-phone Lubes.....has he been in touch?

lubeybooby · 27/02/2013 16:24

Yes he's been in touch. Apologising profusely for not being in touch and said he feels really bad about it but has had an awful time with work and yadda yadda.

And he has bought me a PRESENT! Shock

something off my amazon wishlist... not that weird that he knew I had one, we talked about them being useful on our last date.

I have 'don't ruin the surprise' ticked so I have no idea what it is. omg.

Bizzare!! But kind of lovely.

KirstyWirsty · 27/02/2013 16:34

Woo hoo lubey how lovely

ike1 · 27/02/2013 16:44

Hey Lube...that sounds like a nice little 'pick me up' for you!!

JulietteMontague · 27/02/2013 16:46

Kirsty Sad about Mr Cheeky, that must feel like shit just when everything was on the up for you. This is all Mr Cheeky's issue though and with his other stuff it does sound like he either has very bad luck or may have a bit of a self destruct button. Obviously you will feel for him and will want to be there for him but you don't have to let him take you down too. Apart from that, as Western says all the rest may very well not happen at all.

I wonder why crap always seems to happen when we are least expecting it.

Ike you could do yourself a huge favour and set yourself up with a new personal email account free of twunt and then a dating special that you have specifically for dating and receive cock pics. If you wanted to you could always set up a third account just for communicating with twunt and then you never have to get any nasty surprises in your in box, just go and look when you are ready.

Lubey how exciting.

ike1 · 27/02/2013 16:53

Jule I am a ridiculous old Trogladyte, TR set me up a new e-mail somewhere...

lubeybooby · 27/02/2013 16:58

Yeah exciting and a nice pick me up. I am slightly gobsmacked

ike Juliette has a v good idea there re: different email accounts

JulietteMontague · 27/02/2013 17:11

Ike I've pm d you

KirstyWirsty · 27/02/2013 17:18

I set up a yahoo account with my POF user name as I learnt after giving the surgeon my hotmail account which has my full name in the address .. Takes two minutes

KirstyWirsty · 27/02/2013 17:24

Juliette he is a bit if a disaster zone really .. Separated for 4 years but not legally .. House not sold so he's paying for it and maintenance so can't afford to rent somewhere himself .. Bank called in his overdraft last month .. And now the suspension .. He has worked there for 11 years but we have a new load of senior management who think that him knowing his stuff and standing his ground is intimidating behaviour (I have seen him in action and he is not aggressive just firm) .. Some of it is bad luck but a lot of it is just him
